2023 FCRCC EVENTS
ANNUAL WESTERN MA FLEA MARKET
Join us for our Annual Giant Western MA Flea Market on Saturday, May 6th, 2023 at the Franklin County Technical School Gymnasium from 9am to 1pm. Sellers are welcome to come in and set up starting at 8am and the doors to the general public will open at 9. Tables are $15 this year, where $10 will be used to cover the room fee and $5 from every table will be donated to our “Flights for the Fight” campaign which directly purchases medical supplies and ships them over to those still fighting in the ongoing war in Ukraine. There are no admission fees for buyers or to just browse, but donations are certainly welcome to help with the fund!
ANNUAL FATHER’S DAY FUN FLY
We hope you are able to join us on Sunday, June 18th, 2023 from 10am to 4pm for our Annual Father’s Day Fun Fly Event at the FCRCC Flying Field in Turners Falls, MA! All are welcome to attend. As always, we do not have any landing or spectator admission fees as we like to keep this event free for pilots and the public. We will have refreshments, demos, trainers set up for anyone to try with one of our Intro Pilots (Ages 10+), Simulators for anyone to try, music and of course a fun filled day!
For Pilots (AMA & FAA Reg. required): You are welcome to join us on Saturday June 17th for a day of relaxing open flying and comradery, starting at Noon. We will be camping overnight at the field. Bring your tent or RV and we can continue the party right on into the night! (No hookups, bring your generator and solar panels!)
This will also be our official “Flights for the Fight” campaign and will continue to raise money to purchase medical supplies that remain in short supply over in Eastern Europe. Stand with FCRCC to stand with Ukraine!
FLIGHTS FOR THE FIGHT
This year, FCRCC continues to show our support for the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine. Our own David K, his daughter Mary, and her mother Iryna started sending over medical supplies direct last year while in the process of making their way to the US for safety from war torn Ukraine. The goal was getting the supplies to the citizens fighting on the front lines who needed it most. The only problem is that there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight for this war, where the fighting and devastation continues.
